Yeah, which is a problem if (as is pretty much goddamn certain) the GOP continues to actively fuck with relief efforts. There doesn't seem to be many other options, though

The thing that article Iduno referenced was harping on is an utterly untested provision in a law that's been around since the 80s, which isn't exactly a better alternative, especially given the state of the judiciary.

If the Georgia runoffs don't break blue shit's probably going to have trouble getting better, for all taking some of the actively malicious folks out of the equation'll at least make it a bit harder to get worse.

Nobody will tell me how much the vaccine will cost me

Trump claimed it would be free for US citizens. IDK what Biden's going to do going forward.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

He's said what the far-right and the center-right wanted him to say, so it's hard to know what he'll actually try to do, and will have to face some adversity in congress if he doesn't do what the far-right wants, so...

And for those that want something more than a screenshot of a clickbait title...*

Actual content of the article: Biden not actually saying bloody anything back in March, just not going out of their way to support a specific process involving something that's apparently never been successfully used before (something called march-in rights).

If you want to see what's actually been stated by Biden's campaign, rather than not-stated months ago, search this page for "ELIMINATING COST BARRIERS FOR PREVENTION OF AND CARE FOR COVID-19" and read downwards from there.

It's not as explicit a support for free vaccines as I'd like to see, but it's also not clickbait horseshit reading tea leaves from a lack of comment most of a year ago on supporting a legislative provision that's never been bloody used, either.

* Actually, that seems to be either paywalled or asking you to register, so have the source they're cribbing from.

E: Interesting note, though: While biden hasn't come out in support of trying to invoke the march-in clause, harris has. So despite the non-comment by biden directly, he was apparently willing to take on a VP that's in favor of it.

If you're trying to read tea leaves there it probably ends up something of a wash. Suggests it might get tried if republican sabotage ends up too intractable, though.

Biden's made comment/commitment to eliminate out of pocket expenses entirely for plague treatment, which would probably include the vaccine, but the exact form that takes or if it'll hold up to the pretty certain to continue GOP sabotage/intentional-mass-murder-of-american-citizens is something we just don't know yet.

Trump, well, he lost re-election so other than whatever problems his administration causes in the next few months on the subject, his previous probably-lies don't matter much.

Not even the least little bit, otherwise I would have mentioned it

Yeah, pretty much. I've killed and seen the bottom boss killed with pretty lackluster wands/perk combos before. So long as you avoid the orbs, it's a tough fight but not super deadly or anything. Manageable with one set of perks and an okay wand. A good wand basically deletes it if it isn't orb boosted, heh.

Now, 11 or 30+ orb boss and you're going to need (or at least very, very want) the big guns, and probably several perk collecting runs. Takes forever otherwise, heh, and it's not like the thing's a complete pushover regardless so long as you don't insta-pop it.

I seem to recall someone tried something like that at some point. A (janky/low budget) MMO with inter-world transit that led to worlds with significantly different gameplay mechanics, meant to be moved between and whatnot. Can't recall what happened to it, though...

Huh, that's vaguely amusing. Apparently the shitgibbon is turning hard against Fox, at least on twitter. <insert let them fight meme here>

Well... good to hear it's going a'ight and the plague hasn't gotcha', heh. Best of luck for things to keep steady for yeh.
